BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:40 A.M.) – The Russian military was conducting a patrol along the Aleppo-Latakia Highway (M-4 Highway) this morning, when their forces were attacked by militants inside the Idlib Governorate.
The militant forces aligned with Turkey posted a photo of the Russian military convoy after it came under attack this morning; it shows one of the vehicles partially on top of a median along the Aleppo-Latakia Highway.
The attack was believed to have been carried out by the militant forces that are currently in control of several areas along the Aleppo-Latakia Highway, especially near the administrative borders of Latakia and Idlib.

The Russian military has yet to respond to this latest attack; however, they often respond shortly after these incidents, whether through airstrikes or a ground assault.
Last week, the Russian military destroyed Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham’s underground weapons factory that was used to develop armed drones.
